The biggest challenge, Borg says, is keeping up with the rapidly evolving threats. "Extrapolating a past cyberattack trend into the future is of little use," he says, adding that this makes government-mandated security standards of little use. "By the time cybersecurity standards have been defined and are being imposed, they will not only be obsolete; they will often be an impediment to implementing the security measures that are most necessary," he says.

Among other sessions: A data-driven approach to detecting advanced persistent threats; Enhancing the security of the network infrastructure; Convergence of cyber warfare and electronic warfare; The attribution problem with cyber attacks and; The challenge of international law frameworks in response to the threat of cyber warfare.
